My lil' cb350

I like my gel cell because it's smaller, can be mounted in any position, and still has enough juice to start the bike no problem.

To smooth out the welds did you grind them down and fill the low spots with bondo?

Put the bottom half of the motor together this morning

Painted some more parts today, the other half is still in the oven baking. Still waiting on the head gasket, but the motor is about 80% done at this point.

The engine got a little taller today, but I still have to set all my timing and adjust my valves/points before I close it all up. I also need to beadblast and repaint all the side covers so they match(they are bolted up right now so I can set the crank position and make sure my clutch was working).

I test fitted the tail section and decided I didn't like the way it looked(too big), so I made another one today.

Here's a rough idea of how it will look on the bike.
